Cancer Center Accreditation

Choosing a cancer center is an important decision - one you can make a little easier by looking for the Commission On Cancer seal of approval. Though only 1,430 cancer programs in the United States have received this special designation, these programs treat 85 percent of cancer patients.

Cape Fear Valley Cancer Center is accredited through the American College of Surgeons Commission On Cancer with commendation as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center.

To receive this prestigious designation, we are required to uphold a variety of standards. Among them are:

• A multi-specialty team approach to cancer
• A comprehensive range of services
• Cancer-related information and support
• Ongoing monitoring and lifelong patient follow-up
• Clinical trials and new treatment options
• Leading-edge technology
